There are two different ways to make a vaccine: killed and live attenuated.
In making a killed vaccine you grow the actual disease causing organisms, harvest them and treat them with something that kills them and chops them up (chemicals, UV, heat, etc.) These are usually very effective vaccines but often have rare severe side effects.
In making a live attenuated vaccine there are several ways: use a closely related organism that normally does not cause disease in man (this is what Jenner did), use the actual disease causing organism but grow it in a different animal so it causes only a weak disease in man, or use the actual disease causing organism but after harvesting them treat them with something that does not kill them but slows their growth enough that the immune system gets a good chance to finish them off. The biggest drawback here is that sometimes the organisms revert and actually cause the real disease.
What else can I help you with?
To inject a vaccine is to?
To inject a vaccine is to introduce a small amount of the vaccine, usually through a needle, into the body. This helps stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies and create a defense against the specific disease targeted by the vaccine.
What is the name of the vaccine that Jonas Sulk 1914-1995 developed and what is the name of the disease that it was used for?
Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine, known as the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV). The vaccine was used to prevent poliomyelitis, a highly infectious viral disease that can cause paralysis and, in severe cases, death.
Is there a vaccine for The Enterobacteria Phage T4 virus?
No, there is currently no vaccine for the Enterobacteria Phage T4 virus. This virus infects bacteria, not humans, so it is not a target for vaccine development.
Is a vaccine an antibody?
No, antibodies are produced by your body as an immune response to an outside threat. A vaccine is--or used to be--just a weakened outside threat introduced internally so that your body may develop immunity to it. Pass on the mercury and aluminum, though, thanks.
The act or practice of inoculating someone with vaccine as a protection against disease-?
Vaccination is the act of administering a vaccine to stimulate the body's immune system to develop immunity against a specific disease. It helps protect individuals from infectious diseases by preparing their immune system to recognize and fight off the pathogen if exposed to it in the future.
